Default What Tyres To Fit????

What tyres are best suited to the SV650s? I had Dunlpos on my NSR and changed to Bridgestone Battlax on recommendation and they were the nuts. I had lots of confidence in them and they had good grip in all weathers. Obvisously a NSR is completely different to the SV, so whats best to kit them out with? Baring in mind that I've done a fair amount of engine work to the bike and it has destroyed the Avons that came with the bike. Is anything up to the challenge?

cheers guys

Also Pirelli Diablo's are quality... Bridgestone BT 014's are supposed to be OK too
